Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) is one of the most well-rounded forms of martial arts training, combining striking, grappling, wrestling, and self-defense techniques into one dynamic system. At Marinoble’s Martial Arts, our Kids MMA program is designed to introduce children to multiple martial arts disciplines in a safe, structured, and age-appropriate way.
Unlike full-contact MMA competitions seen in professional fighting, our Kids MMA classes focus on skill development, discipline, and confidence-building rather than full-contact sparring. Children learn the fundamentals of Kickboxing, Ju Jitsu, Wrestling, and Self-Defense, giving them a well-rounded foundation that improves their coordination, strength, and problem-solving abilities.
Why Choose Kids MMA?
MMA provides a comprehensive martial arts experience, allowing children to develop a diverse skill set while learning in a positive, non-intimidating environment. Our program teaches technique, strategy, and control, ensuring that students gain confidence and discipline while remaining safe.
What to Expect in Kids MMA Class
If your kids are interested in doing the things Mixed Martial Artists do in the UFC Octagon then this might be the perfect starting point for them to experience the real thing without all the damage to their body. The struggle of person vs person is a great chance to learn about yourself and your limits. Competition is also a big part of this system, just as with kickboxing.
